If you're on a monopod, leave the SR on, especially if you're at higher zoom ranges or at slow shutter speeds. You will get better results, believe me. You just can't hold a monopod as steady as a tripod.

If you're on a tripod, then follow the manual's advice and switch it off.

I don't have the pics online, but having shot a large number of college marching band pictures at 300mm under stadioum lights, I can attest that SR on is the way to go for a monopod.
